I might be noteworthy that in the transcript, one cannot see the Ilyushin read back their altitude as their response to the ATC call 'n on course, on glide path' except once *), but importantly on the second attempt, at 09:38:35, when the distance was '2' and the read back was '130'.
You can also hear at the begining the controller clear out the question of the approach for the Il, giving him RSP+OSP.
Interesting also to note during the Il-76 second approach the time between the 130 m call from the tower to the GA from the tower, some 27 seconds. Assuming a descent rate around 3 m/s, it would mean they were at some 50 m.

General impression regarding ATC transcripts. No sign of any pressure from above (Moscow). They were nervous because of the situation, weather, lack of some information, but concentrated on solving the problems. Doing their job.
